general patronage, the management desires to contradict such a notion and to 
commend the house to all-comers. We wish especially to bespeak the good-

Men, and of other Business Men, who visit Cleveland at stated intervals. To 
such patrons we offer SpCCt^l IRStCS and will assure them accommodations

AN INTRODUCTION. 



@M[P lliSt©[Plr| TdPfiROtilM; 




r,HE Eastern and Southern trav- 
eler reaching Cleveland makes 
the acquaintance at that point of the 
Detroit and Cleveland Steam Nav- 
igation Company, and in the brief 
voyage of a night between that 
city and Detroit enjoys a fore- 
taste of the luxurious condi- 
tions of travel upon the 
huge steamers of their 
fleet. 

The distance be- 
tween the two cities 
is no miles. Nu- 
merous favorable 
connections by rail 
for points east and 
south from Cleve- 
land and west from 
Detroit tend to 
make thiswater-link 
of inter-communica- 
tion a favorite with 
both business men 
and tourists. 

The City of Cleve- 
land which has not yet reached the first cen- 
tennial date of its original settlement as a 
trapper's camp, is certainly one of the proudest and most conspicuous examples 
of the civic advance of our time and country. With a population of 240,000 souls, 
and a compact, yet liberally planned community covering 26 square miles, it has 
much more to interest the stranger or occasional visitor than is ordinarily discovered 
in our average American towns. 

A recent writer says: "The location of Cleveland is beautiful, healthful, and 
advantageous in a commercial sense. Its commodious and well protected harbor, 
and the diversified country about it, contribute to its attractiveness, while its 
varied surface and expansive water-front conduce to its general healthfulness. 
Its harbor gives ample and safe anchorage for large fleets, and the projected 
docks, inside the arms of the breakwater, add to the inducements already held

STEAMER CITY OF CLEVELAND. 




A NIGHT EFFECT — CLEVELAND HARBOR. 



out to the lake trade. A pleasant ride by rail of eighteen hours, covers the 
distance to New York, a ten hours' ride carries the traveler to Cincinnati, and in 
five hours Pittsburg and Buffalo are reached. From Lake View Park, above the 
Union passenger depot, a view of the grand old lake, dotted with steam and sail 
craft, from the huge propeller and panting tug to the handsome little steam 
yacht, and from the monstrous four-masted schooner to the graceful sloop, 
presents one of the most animated and beautiful pictures to be found. 

Cleveland is proud of its well-kept and shady public square, the focal point 
of its business, but its chief glory is found in Euclid Avenue, and its hardly less 
magnificent Prospect Street, both of which are bordered by miles of sumptuous 
homes of wealthy and tasteful residents, many of them set in the midst of broad 
lawns. At the eastern extreme of the city is Lake View Cemetery, the central 
feature of which is the noble Garfield Monument. 

The wharves and offices of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company 
are located at No. 23 River Street, a short distance from the vast and costly piers 
which guard the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. 

The evening is well advanced before the steamer departs from her moorings, 
passing out through the railway drawbridge and between the lights that guard 
the harbor. The majority of the passengers are generally aboard long before the 
hour of leaving, clustered upon the decks fore and aft, or ranging with an air 
of pleased anticipation, through the spacious, well-lighted grand saloon. There is 
an effect, after night-fall, about the restless water life in view from the Iteamer's 
decks, which seems to the fanciful mind intensely theatrical. The many flashing, 
glistening electric lights upon the wharves and the viaduct streak the still black 
waters with vertical bars of vibrant flame. The ponderous draws swing silently 
to and fro obedient to the demands of hoarse signals from the throats of crowding 



steam craft of every size and huikl, from the vast dusky iron freighter from the 
upper lakes, as big as a church and thrice as costly, or the fussy side-wheel 
excursion vessel coming in after a day's merry-making, down to the natty private 
yacht or the humble fisher sloop. 

Given, as conditions, a moonlit summer night, a sleeping sea and vivacious 
company, with bright anticipations of a pleasure journey over untried waters, 
and the occasion is not likely to be soon forgotten. 



THE traveling public alive to its own comfort, safety and pleasure, may be 
surely counted upon to share w-ith the management of a popular route 
in the satisfaction of reviewing its history, and contemplating its prospects. 

The following is introduced 

at this point, in deference to 

this conviction, as well as in 

) response to an active inquiry 

from patrons. 

It w^s 1S50 that the "Cleve- 
land Line," as such, first com- 
menced its pendulum-like mo- 
tion between the two cities of 
Detroit and Cleveland. Its orig- 
inal incorporator, as the present 
general manager, still guides 
its destinies onward to new con- 
(juests. This gentleman, Mr. 
David Carter, although still in 
his prime, is counted one of 
\'} the old heads in lake naviga- 
lion, havmg entered the lists 
some years before his connection 
nine years (an ordinary lifetime) at the head of 
wonderful record and one of which to be proud, 
steamers have grown from the Forest City, cost- 
ing $44,500 to the wonderful floating palaces representing an investment of more 
than a third of a million dollars each, and the capital called forth from 
$75,ooQ to fr, 100,000. The e.Ktension of the company's lines through Lake Huron 
did not occur until 1SS2. The great living principle under which all important 
moves have been made is that of anticipation of the wants of the public and 
fulfillment of same long before they become apparent to those whom they are 
intended to benefit. This has made the company the pioneer in all the great 
revolutions which have so completely metamorphosed modern lake vessels, and 
their manner of doing business. At the time of organization, a daily line of 
steamers was a rare accommodation, but the Cleveland Line at once supplied 
the service. In 1S7S, composite ships having an iron frame and wood 
sheathings, thereby doing away with cumbersome arches and long bracing

rods, were a doubtful success. The steamer City of Detroit proved their worth. 
In 1880, the City of Alpena was the first iron passenger steamer on the lakes, 
and the first in the United States to adopt the Clyde patterned feathering 
paddle wheels which now propel all their steamers. To the thousands 
who have experienced the great speed which they develop without the 
slightest jar or noise, they have proved a curiosity well worthy of inspection. 
To others no words will convey the full meaning of their success. In 18S3, the 
City of Mackinac proved the efficacy of the compound for marine beam engines, 
In 18S2, the company brought forward its long cherished scheme of separating 
the meal and berth charges from the transportation fare. This system, now so 
well known, was thoroughly novel in all its salient points, and the traveling public 

was somewhat slow in realizing its 



advantages, but when the old habits 
were overcome the praises of the new 
plan were such as left no doubt of 
its success, and it is now regarded 
as one of the strongest points of the 
service. 




FURNACES — STEAMER CITY OF CLEVELAND. 



The same year also marks the removal of the dining room from the cabin 
to the after portion of the hull on all the steamers. The tourist, during his 
first experience on board, notices and comments upon the unusual arrangements 
of the main saloons, and their striking appearance. No plain, cheerless rooms 
with white walls and long rows of useless tables and hard, straight-backed chairs, 
forcing him out on the deck or into his state-room from sheer lack of comfort. 
No disagreeable odors to spoil his appetite. No upheaval of everything in the 
cabin an hour before each meal, and a preemptory removal of his chair for other 
uses. No clatter of dishes for several hours each day directly opposite his 
room. No early morning preparations just when he would take his beauty 
sleep. Instead, magnificent reception-rooms of solid mahogany, tastefully fur- 
nished with heavy upholstered chairs around the walls, and large handsome 



set pieces down the centre, the whole so thickly strewn around as to almost 
impede progress. Descending to the dining hall, the passenger finds a sumptuous 
repast, spread in a large cool, well-ventilated room, where he may enjoy it at 
his leisure, entirely removed from every external influence. 

In 1886, the steamer City of Cleveland contained so many improvements as 
to fairly stagger marine critics, whose views are well set forth in the following 
card published by the company later in the same season: "Her size, elegance and 
generally expensive arrangements provoked many criticisms on the management 
which had conceived and executed such an amazing departure from the usual 
rut of marine architecture, and prophecies were freely made that she would 
prove a costly experiment for many years to come. The company had full faith 
in the route, however, and the immense success she has achieved, both as an 
attractive feature, and a good investment, once more proves their usual far- 
sighted policy to be the best." 

The new steamer City of Detroit — No. 2, as heralded by the book of 1888, is 
now one of the company's fleet, and with the City of Cleveland performs the ser- 
vice between the cities of Detroit and Cleveland, displacing the City of Detroit — No. i, 
so long and favorably known to the traveling public. A general description may 
be given as follows: total length, 300 feet; width, 72 feet; depth, 16 feet, and loaded 
draft, II feet. The hull is of steel, divided into nine water-tight compartments. 
The boilers are of the Scotch pattern three-quarter inch steel and tested to no 
pounds. They are four in number and weigh 100 tons. The engine is a com- 
pound beam engine of 2,700 horse-power. The high pressure cylinder is 44 inches 
by eight feet and the low pressure cylinder 68 inches by 12 feet. The paddle 
wheels are of the Clyde feathering pattern in use on all the company's steamers. 

The grand saloon is finished throughout in solid mahogany inlaid by artis- 
tically-designed stamped leather. It is 240 feet long by 20 feet in height and 
contains a double tier of state-rooms, the upper ones reached by a broad balcony 
running completely around the cabin. There are 140 rooms, each lighted by 
electricity and fitted out in the most approved manner with wire and hair 
mattresses, Pullman blankets, etc. That quiet may be maintained during the 
night, a separate cabin is provided for passengers without rooms. The dining 
room is located in the after hull, and is capable of seating 150 persons. 
Electric lights are used throughout, there being over 450 individual lamps. 
She has steam steering apparatus and steam windlass, and capstans. Includ- 
ing these, there are a total of 14 engines on board. The steamer's capacity is 
2,500 passengers and 800 tons of freight. She is of 2,000 tons burden and 
attains a speed of 20 miles per hour. The entire cost of construction and out 
fitting is over $350,000. 

Excepting in size this magnificent vessel in no way differs from her sister 
steamer. City of Cleveland, as three years' experience with the latter has proved 
her to be about the most perfect sidewheeler afloat, and the same model was 
therefore used. 

The excellent discipline maintained upon these steamers is a matter of 
frequent remark even among Eastern tourists and transatlantics accustomed to the 
fine systems found upon the great Sound and ocean going lines. From the watch- 
ful officers in the pilot-house down to the brawny men in the fire-room who feed 
the huge furnaces in their iron-clad chamber, all seem to be actuated by a strong 
sense of responsibility and duty.

Opposite the village is the summer home of Jay Cooke, Esq,, of Philadelphia, 
whose castle-like villa stands half concealed among forest trees crowning the 
precipitous islet whose rocky frontage has suggested its name, " Gibraltar." Fine 
roads lead away across the island of Put-in-Bay to Perry's Cave, a remarkable 
underground abyss, to the new and extensive hotel, and to various fine points of 
outlook. Commodore Perry's famous naval victory over the British in the war of 
1812 within view from these islands, and the fact that Put-in-Bay was a centre of 
operations has given the place a historic renown which attracts many people 
annually. 

Lake Erie washes the borders of the four States of New York, Pennsylvania, 
Ohio and Michigan and the Dominion of Canada. It is 250 miles long and from 
40 to 60 miles wide, the greatest depth being 204 feet. Its surface is 565 feet higher 
than that of the Hudson River at Albany. 

The passenger westward bound who rises from his berth at a very early 
hour will enjoy a fine panorama of the Detroit River below the city. The steamer 
enters the river at Bar Point Light, and with Grosse Isle upon the left, passes 
through a score of miles of varied and pleasing waterside life, especially attract- 
ive in the light of early morning. 

Father Hennepin, who passed up the river in early days, enthusiastically 
wrote: "The islands are the finest in the world; the strait is finer than Niagara ; 
the banks are vast meadows, and the prospect terminates with hills crowned with 
vineyards, fruit bearing trees, groves and forests so well disposed that one would 
think nature alone could not have made without the help of art, so charming a 
prospect " Civilization has somewhat marred its freshness, but the strait still 
affords some of the loveliest river scenery in America. 

Passengers destined for Mackinac or the Lake Huron Ports, and making 
close connection with the Lake Huron Division of the Detroit and Cleveland 
Steam Navigation Company, take breakfast on board before transferring.

1^ f ^HE most reliable authorities now credit Detroit with a population of about 
-i- 200,000. This city enjoys the distinction of being the oldest city in the West, 
and maintains its place as the commercial metropolis of Michigan. Like Cleve- 
land it is a city of unusual beauty of situation and of varied local attraction. 
Its streets are broad and in the residence sections shaded with an abundance 
of fine trees. 

The private homes of its well-to-do citizens are usually located in the 
centre of attractive grounds affording a village-like air which tempts many 
transient visitors to prolong a summer visit from days to weeks. 

The superb Detroit River flowing past the extended water-front affords an 
excellent means for boating and fishing. An electrical railway leads to Grosse 
Pointe, a congregation of costly suburban residences, looking out upon Lake 
St. Clair, and Belle Isle Park, the pride of the citizens, may be reached by 
either land or water. Detroit is blessed with excellent hotels. From Detroit 
an intricate system of railways leads away in every direction, making favorable 
connections with all the company's steamers. 

Detroit employs the aerial system of street lighting, having about 150 
electric towers, varying in elevation from 100 to 250 feet, each with its cluster 
of brilliant arc lights of great power, and the effect as seen at night from the 
deck of a departing streamer is impressive and beautiful. 

The tonnage of vessels annually passing through the Detroit River is said 
to exceed that of our national foreign commerce.

HE time is nine o'clock upon a bright July morning. 
The last passenger, after dodging frantically 
among the departing drays, baggage-wagons and 
supply carts, is safely, if breathlessly, aboard, 
the gang plank is pulled in ; the whistle sends a 
hoarse echo over the blue river, and now the 
huge black prow of the steamer draws pon- 
derously back from the wharf and the voyage 
is begun. Groups of brightly clad travelers 
are already assembled upon the broad triangle 
of the forward deck and upon the crescent aft, 
wearing that pleasingly expecta<nt expression 
of face which presages new and agreeable ex- 
perience. 

As we gain the centre of the swirling green 
current of the river, a fine panorama of the busy 
City of Detroit opens to the eye. In front are 
mile upon mile of wharfage and railway termini, 
closely lined with the multiform steam and sail 
craft of the upper lakes. Behind this rampart 
of commerce rise the solid business squares of 
the city, and more distant the shady avenues of residence stretching back to 
suburbs not less pleasing to the visitor. 
The umber smoke from a thou- 
sand busy work-shop fires floats up- 
ward and outward, to mingle with 
tne yellow haze that broods over the 
water, through which ghostly schoon- 
ers, barges and fisher craft drift in 
groups as picturesque as the argosies 
of the Grand Venetian Canal The 
black cubes of elevators loom up 
above the general level 
of the shore line ; the 
noise of busy freight 
yards and of the calk- 
ing mallet come in 
softened cadence over 
the tide. Presently 
all these things arc be- 
hind us and Belle Isle, 
the city's spacious 
park, claims attention, 
terminating in Wind- 
mill Point, whereon is 
set a handsome brick 
light-beacon. ,^ ^^,_^^ ,^^^ ^^^^_ uetrct.

^VER to the right, upon the Canadian shore are vistas of 
groves, orchards, villages and weather-worn fishing stations. 

Three miles away to the westward the clustered villas of Grosse Pointe shim- 
mer upon the hot morning air. 

Beyond the light-ship the glassy expanse spreads unbroken except by the 
prows and paddles of hurrying steamboats and puffing tugs, convoying deeply 
laden vessels into port. 

There is something in all this scene suggestive of the busy river life of the 
Mississippi, down toward her jetties, and certain happy mornings spent in drifting 
down between the fragrant orange groves of the delta come pleasurably to the 
mind as we plow the blue expanse of placid Lake St. Clair. 

The transit of Lake St. Clair is made in an hour and a half, the distance to 
the St. Clair Flats being 22 miles. 

The entrance to St. Clair River through the narrow winding channels at this 
point was formerly attended with great danger. To improve and shorten the 
entrance, the U. S. Government constructed a ship canal, which was completed in 
1871, at a cost of $653,550. It is 8,200 feet long, 200 feet wide, and 16 feet deep. 

The St. Clair Flats belong to the government, and those who have built cot- 
tages, hotels and club-houses, hold possession by the right of Squatter Sovereignty 
only. The buildings are set on dry land, made with earth dredged from around 
each site. Before many years the bank on the American side will be lined with 
public and private resorts. The St. Clair River is 4S miles long, 1^4 wide, and is 
the connecting link between the great upper and lower lakes. Unlike the great 
Mississippi, the beautiful Hudson, and other famous rivers, the waters of the St. 
Clair are always clear. Not only does the traffic upon this river impress one 
with the vastness of the commerce of the great lakes, but its continually 
changing panoramic views produce a lasting effect on the mind. 

A study of the fine bird's-eye view of the St. Clair Flats will afford the 
reader a vivid and truthful idea of this interesting section. 

The several large and costly club-houses are ranged along the left-hand or 
port-side shore, the Rushmere being the most extensive structure of the kind 
upon the lakes. The steamer does not stop here but speeds along to Marine City. 

This is a community of 2,500 inhabitants located on the St. Clair River at 
the mouth of the Belle River, 43 miles from Detroit. Its principal industry is 
shipbuilding, having one of the largest plants for the town's size in the 
country. A bed of rock-salt, about 115 feet in thickness, underlies this region 



at an average depih of 1,700 feet and makes it one of the principal points 
of the great salt-producing area of Michigan of which the Saginaws, Bay City 
and Oscoda are the centres. The method of rendering is by pumping river 
water into the wells, which, becoming brine, is forced back into tanks and 
evaporated into salt. 

ST. CLAIR is 50 miles from Detroit and has a population of 3,000. The 
location is a charming natural site at one of the widest and most picturesque 
points on the river, where the shore makes a grand curve, giving the town, 
built upon its high and sloping bank, a most commanding appearance. 

This is, undoubtedly, the best point in Lower Michigan for camping clubs. 
Numerous groves sloping to the water's edge and offering every facility for 
boating and bathing are for rent at low prices, while a wooded bluff, which ex- 
tends parallel with the river, gives a commanding outlook and ample shelter for 
tents. Campers are within easy reach of a base of supplies, and enjoy at this 
point the best mail and telegraph facilities. The fishing in the river is fair. 

Within the past few years the enterprise of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam 
Navigation Company has attracted to these shores a constant stream of visitors 
from the mort. southerly and easterly parts of the country, most of whom 
pitch their tents and establish summer colonies which maintain their existence 
for a month or more at a time. The "Smoky City," indeed, has been so largely 
represented that it has been suggested the place might well be called Little 
Pittsburg. 

The famous St. Clair mineral spring is the great natural attraction of St. 
Clair. The handsome and extensive Oakland Hotel, managed in connection 
with the spring, has a frontage upon the river of 600 feet. Its rooms are 
unusually large and elegantly furnished, and guests will find every possible 
comfort and amusement provided, such as billiards, shooting gallery, bowl- 
ing, swimming baths, and other in-door amusements, while on the lawns may 
be found the different gam.es of the day. The livery establishment supplies rigs 
of all descriptions, from the Shetland pony and cart to the stately landau, 
the spirited Kentucky saddler and spacious park wagon. For riding and driv- 
ing a fine road extends along the river a distance of thirty miles. There are 
numerous attractions in and about the Oakland, which will be best appreciated 
by a personal visit. A bath-house adjoining the hotel has thirty handsomely 
furnished rooms. 

Many business men of Cleveland and vicinity who haven't time to visit 
Mackinac, send their families here, as they can visit them every week without 
loss of business hours, by means of the company's Sunday night trips on the Lake 
Erie Division. 

PORT HUROxNJ, on the St. Clair River, at the foot of Lake Huron, is 
62 miles from Detroit, and has 15,000 inhabitants. The soil is sandy and 
consequently free from malaria, which, with water clear as crystal and the 
cool breeze from Lake Huron, afford two great vitalizing elements of nature, 
pure air and water, making it a healthful city, and a pleasant place in 
which to pass a hot summer. On the opposite bank of the river (Canada) 
Sarnia with 5,000 inhabitants, is beautifully situated, and has long been a 
great resort for Southern people. There are hotels and all conveniences for 
tourists. One mile above is Sarnia Bay, a paradise for sportsmen. Splendid 
fishing is found here— pickerel, bass and perch Ducks of all kinds are shot in

large quantities. At Fort Gratiot, one mile above Port Huron, is the crossing 
of the Grand Trunk system of railways. This crossing is now effected by car 
ferries but within two or three years will probably be done by tunnel. 

The company's tourist business from the Canadian cities comes via this 
route and the vast amount of going and coming makes this port the third of 
the company's southern termini rather than a way port. The fort established 
in 1814 was discontinued in 1S79. Two miles north of Fort Gratiot are Huronia 
and Gratiot beaches. They are connected with the city by electric railroads ; 
famous resorts for families ; are established on economical principles. At this point 
the lake narrows to the entrance of St. Clair River, and a fine view is had 
of the shipping. Often fifty sail of vessel, steamers and tugs are in view at 
once, presenting a panorama that is greatly admired. This resort, nestled 
among trees, consists of a long line of cottages, with a central dining-hall. 
A white sand beach lies between them and the lake. The buildings are all of 
a neat style of architecture, and present an attractive appearance. Fresh water 
bathing is excellent. There are several good hotels in the city. The banks of 
St. Clair River from St. Clair to Port Huron are rapidly building up with summer 
cottages, and in a few years will present the spectacle of an almost continuous 
line of handsome villas. In this respect the St. Clair River is holding its own 
among the famous riverside resorts of the United States. 



Ujp) Lk\(^ ^M\P©\!\. 



^I^HE steamers of the Detroit and Cleveland line do not stop at Fort Gratiot, 
J- as passengers who have come from Montreal and ether points in Canada 
are taken by the Grand Trunk Railway to Port Huron only a mile below. The 
steamers City of Mackinac and City of Alpena leave Port Huron going north Wednes- 
day and Friday afternoons, and Tuesday and Sunday mornings. 

There has been so much of interest to take the attention for the past six 
hours that the trip through the lake is a pleasant relief. From this out all 
points of interest are seen on the port side, the Canadian shore being far 
away. We get outside, and from "abreast" of Fort Gratiot light the steamer 
is put on her course for three and one-half hours which brings us to within 
five miles of Sand Beach, when we "haul in" for the harbor of refuge. The 
captain, who likes "lots of sea room," keeps well out into the lake. 

Sand Beach, 124 miles from Detroit, is interesting in connection with the 
splendid government breakwater, 8,000 feet in length, and built at a cost of 
over $1,000,000. It forms a commodious harbor of inestimable value to sail 
craft as a refuge in forbidding weather. The village derives its name from a 
beach of fine white sand in front of the natural terrace upon which it is 
located. Fishing is excellent here and facilities for its enjoyment adequate. 

After an exchange of passengers and freight at the end of the long wharf 
our steamer resumes her course. Five minutes takes us outside the break- 
water, and we head for Point Au Barques light, which is reached in one hour. 
This point is at the entrance to Saginaw Bay, which is crossed in two and 
one-half hours, a distance of 45 miles.

half-way place. Officers and passengers are interested, and

both are running at high speed, and are soon far apart. 

Oscoda, iSo miles from Detroit and at the mouth of 
broad and breezy Saginaw Bay which we have just crossed, 
is the next point of call. The Au Sable River flowing 
down from the Michigan forests gives this place con- 
siderable importance as a lumbering depot. 

This town and the village of Au Sable opposite have a joint population 
of about 5,000. They will probably be united before long. 

There is no place in Michigan which will give the traveler a better idea 
of the magnitude of the lumber manufacture and traffic than the City of 
Alpena. The speed and economy with which a log taken fresh from the 
water is cut into shapely lumber and placed upon the wharves ready for ship- 
ment is simply wonderful. 

Far out across a breezeless, mirror-like expanse the resinous odor of 
burning wood comes to our nostrils. Floating away from scores of huge black 
funnels that are reared above the general level of the town, is a dense umber 
cloud of smoke drifting gently out, purpling the sky and water with its 
shadow. 

Along the front of the town a golden rampart of lumber cubes extends, 
with dark openings between where the entrances to the docks are found. A 
light-house marks the mouth of the river. It is s'ow steaming here for 
vagrant logs float everywhere, ugly fellows to catch beneath our wheels. 
The tapering masts of a score of schooners show among the vast expanses of 
lumber. Snowy plumes of steam rise and fall amid the smoke wreaths. 
Nearly everything is wood and the rest is sawdust. Alpena is 228 miles from 
Detroit, and has a population of about 11,000. It is located upon Thunder Bay 
at the mouth of a river of the same name. The present output of lumber is 
175,000,000 feet per annum. The fishery interests centering here are large and 
important. Large sail boats and heavy tugs are employed in this pursuit. As 
the hotels at Alpena are excellent many people stop over here to indulge in 
fishing with hook and line, and upon the islands of the bay many clubs of 
campers are located every summer. Long Lake, seven miles inland, is also 
favored as a sporting point. From the United States Fish Hatchery thirty

millions of young white-fish are shipped each spring and planted in Thunder 
Bay and various points upon Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior. 

Alpena has presented until within two years the unusual spectacle of a 
prosperous city of 10,000 inhabitants having no railroad connections, and shut in 
from all commercial traffic with the outer world for four months in the year. 

Thunder Bay is one of the best harbors upon the chain of lakes being free 
from shoals and ledges and having a good anchorage. It is formed by a 
narrow peninsula turning southward at its extreme. 

When the steamer leaves Alpena, the novel sight is presented of the huge craft 
backing, crab-like, out of the harbor, the river-mouth being so pent-up that there 
is no room to turn. To facilitate this retreat and preserve the paddles from damage 
from the masses of floating timber and debris from the mills, a tug is brought into 
service, the pigmy craft pulling "manfully" at the big steamer until she is well 
outside of the light-house with abundant sea-room to turn about in. Then we head 
away out around the surf-beaten point that guards the entrance of Thunder Bay, and 
next in order come to Cheboygan, another great port for the leading staple of the 
State of Michigan. 

Crowding in among the lake craft of all sorts, the steamer comes up to her wharf 
and we take advantage of the brief stop to cross the gang-plank and tread the soil of 
the town, just to be able to say, with due regard for truth, that we have been there.

Michigan, 329 miles from De- 
troit, and 16 from Mackinac Island, 
at the entrance from Lake Huron into 
the Straits of Mackinac, has a pop- 
ulation of 6,000, and was settled in 
1846 as a fishing station. Situated at 
the mouth of the Cheboygan River, 
whose water power is about 5,000, 
and harbor excellent, its location is 
one of the finest and most advan- 
tageous in the State. It has exten- 
sive lumber interests, the many saw- 
mills cutting about 130,000,000 feet 
per year. Among the natural advan- 
tages of the town are its flowing 
wells, which, being bored from twenty- 
five to seventy-five feet, throw the 
pure, cold water to a height of several feet. Cheboygan River is navigable 
for small craft, and is the outlet of an extensive system of romantic lakes and 
rivers which cut across the northern part of the peninsular State, and con- 
nect the west shore of Lake Huron with the east shore of Lake Michigan, 
linking together Cheboygan, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and the Traverse Bay 
region, A trip through this intricate inland route is a delightful novelty to 
the tourist, who is provided by the Inland Navigation Company with steamers 
which are constructed especially for the purpose. Arriving at Petoskey, 
should you pre-fer to return by another route, you can choose between

the steamers on Lake Michigan or rail to Mackinaw City, and thence by ferry 
steamer across the Straits of Mackinac to the sland ; the distance being forty 
miles. Michigan occupies a leading position in its attention to the culture and 
protection of fish. Doubtless this arises from the fact that the State is so 
largely surrounded by water, and has such an innumerable number of lakes and 
streams. One county, containing but 900 square miles of land, has over 500 lakes 
which are clear bodies of spring water, with bold shores, some of which are 
beautiful beyond description. The intelligent and progressive fish commission of 
the State have annually planted the lakes and streams with millions of selected 
and hatched spawn. 



Q\i\ te lf\k(^kl\i\h(S. 



FROM Cheboygan the steamer makes the final course of her trip to Mackinac. 
The island at first appearing as a prolongation of its greater neighbor, 
Bois Blanc, rears its crest above the horizon, and illumed by the warm light 
of the afternoon sun seems floating in a gold and purple sea. Far to the 
left the cpen gates of the straits reveal the waters of Lake Michigan. Fleets of 
schooners and steam-freighters are passing in and out. As we gain upon the 
island, the white fort above the village and the long white hotel to the west- 
ward are defined. Then the little port itself, stretched along the graceful sweep of 
its strand, appears from behind its breakwater, Round Island, the bar is crossed, 
and with a long curve the steamer comes to her landing. 




A STREET IN OLD MACKINAC. 

There is nothing else in the West like Mackinac. It has the look and flavor 
of some Acadian towns to be seen in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Low- 
browed, heavily built shops and houses, some of which, being removed to make 
way for modern stores and villas, show timber enough to build a small ship. 

Scattered among these are a few pretty cottages, occupied by people from the 
cities during summers, while groups of more costly villas are ranged along the 
highland both to the right and left of the village. Schooners and local steamboats 
unloading lumber, coal and general supplies lend an air of commercial activity to

operated by Sagina^v, 'luscola & Huron R. K. Co. 

To the person in search of a dehghtful retreat at which to spend the Summer 
Vacation for a moderate expense, let us direct you to Bay Port, which, from its desirable 
location, beautiful grounds, healthful, balmy air, pure spring water, excellent boating, 
bathing and fishing, and superb hcrtel accommodations, has justly been styled "The 
Resorters' Paradise." 

Bay Port is situated on the shore of Wild Fowl Bay, an arm of Lake Huron. The 
waters of the Bay afford the safest and best boating and bathing to be found in the 
Northwest. The fishing is excellent; lovers of the sport can always be accommodated 
with boats, tackle and experienced attendants. The shores of the Bay are fringed with

This elegant Hotel is situated on the "Campus Martius," or 
"Public Square," opposite "City Hall," "Opera House," and 
"Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument.'' Its central location makes 
it a most delightful stopping place, and it has always enjoyed the 
patronage of the most distinguished travelers of both continents. 
The "Russell House" has every modern improvement, electric 
lighting, etc.; and a magnificent new dining-room has just been 
completed, equal to any in this country. Cuisine, appointments 
and management unsurpassed. The precautions against fire are a 
great feature of this house, and are as perfect as human fore- 
thought can make them.

the wharves. Out upon the harbor a group of superb schooner yachts, bright 
with flags and gay with youthful mariners, are at anchor. This is the rendezvous 
for the great racing events of the season. To and fro those storm-petrels, the 
famous Mackinac boats, glide through the blue waters. The street along the 
water's edge, and the animated harbor remind us of Bermuda. We miss only the 
palms and the negroes. 

Carriages are waiting when the passengers troop ashdre to convey them to 
Plank's Grand Hotel half-a-mile westward. With the construction of this noble 
building, Mackinaw entered upon a new epoch in her history. While the former 
houses in the village still command the patronage of a large summer element, 
and share in the benefits of the im.petus given in late years to tourist travel 
hither, the "Grand" naturally constitutes the focal point of the delightful 
social events which follow each other rapidly during the season. In the spacious 
corridors and along the magnificent reach of the piazza, the man of the world 
will find acquaintances from all portions of the United States. 

Leaving the reader to gain an impression of the exterior appearance and 
surroundings of Plank's Grand Hotel from the excellent engravings of both the 
general front and the porch, I will simply quote from the predecessor of this 
publication as to the details : 

"The hotel v.-as built by a wealthy company during the spring of 1887. The 
plans contemplated an expenditure of $300,000, and a total capacity for 1,000 
guests. For the wonderful speed with which the hotel was fitted out, as well 
as the service afterwards inaugurated, the public is wholly indebted to Mr. John 
O. Plank, its genial boniface, who, throughout the ordeal, marshalled his forces 
with a skill and foresight of which a general might be proud. 

" Construction, which ceased with the completion of the season's complement 
of rooms, was renewed with the fall, and the edifice now stands, as originally 
planned, the finest caravansary in the North. It is 650 feet long, and five 
stories in height, surmounted by a tall tower, from which an expansive and 
uninterrupted view may be obtained. The architecture is of the " Old Colonial" 
style, its distinctive feature being a colonnaded portico, upon which the windows 
of every floor open. This portico or veranda is 22 to 32 feet in width, and 
extends the entire length of the house, a magnificent promenade. From the 
large rotunda office opposite the main entrance, spacious halls, running the 
length of the building, lead to the breakfast room, dining hall, and ordinary, on 
one side, and to the reading and drawing rooms, and private parlors, on the 
other. Of these apartments, especial attention is called to the dining hall, a 
mammoth brilliantly lighted and perfectly ventilated room, capable of accommo- 
dating 600 people. It occupies the space of two stories, its vaulted ceiling being 
27 feet overhead, and the handsomely decorated windows in proportion. The 
guest rooms are all large, light and well furnished. Each front suite is provided 
with a private balcony, a novel but highly attractive feature of " The Grand.' 
The hotel is lighted by gas and electricity, heated with steam, and provided 
with an elevat(3r and electric call and fire-alarm bells. It is also equipped 
with barber shop, bath-rooms, steam laundry and a first-class livery, the last 
two enterprises under the management of A. Fisk Starr, known to fame as the 
genial charioteer of Mackinac. An orchestra discourses music during meal 
hours and enlivens the veranda and ballroom in the evening. The Casino, at 
the south of the hotel, furnishes all desirable indoor amusements.

" 'The Grand' is located on a high bluff on the westerly end of the island, 
directly overlooking the Straits of Mackinac, whence comes an almost uninter- 
rupted Lake Michigan breeze. It is the first object discernible on board incoming 
steamers. The descent from the bluff to the beach is about 300 feet, accomplished 
easily by a rustic stair. 

"The rates, except for parlors, are from $3.00 to $4.00 per day, according to 
location of apartments. Application should be made for accommodations as early 
in the season as possible." 

The Mission House is located upon the brow of a bill in the immed'iate 
vicinity of Robinson's Folly, and at the eastern end of the village, the ground 
sloping gradually to the beach. A splendid outlook is gained from its porch 
The frame of this structure is of hewn timber. It derives its name from the fact 
that it was originally built by the American Board of Missions, in 1862, as a 
school for the education of Indians. For many years it has been a popular hotel. 
The site was once government property. It is probably the only military reserve 
ground ever sold by the national authorities. 

The John Jacob Astor House which stands within two minutes' walk of the 
steamer has a greater antiquity ; a large part of the present buildings having 
been used as a headquarters, early in the present century, for the vast business 
of the American Fur Company. As the demands of pleasure travel increased, 
the proprietor of this house extended his facilities for caring for guests, and 
hundreds of its former patrons gladly return annually to its hospitable roof. 
This house is open throughout the year. 

Quoting again from the same authority, place is made for the following 
interesting matter: 

"The history of Mackinac, which renders it classic ground, may be divided 
into six periods. The first period was before the white man found it, when 
the Indians made it their rendezvous. Its original name is Me-che-no-mock- 
e-mong, given it as expressive of their surprise, when at one time at Point 
St. Ignace, a large gathering of Indians who were intently gazing at the 
rising sun, during the Great Manitou, or February moon, beheld the island 
suddenly rise up from the water and assume its present form. From the 
point of observation it bore a fancied r«;semblance to the back of a huge 
turtle, hence the name. The French called it Michilimackinac. Its present 
name, Mackinac, is pronounced Mack-i-naw. The Indians regarded this island 
with a species of veneration. Tradition credits it with being the birth-place of 
Michabou, the Indian god of waters, and the home of the giant spirits. It 
is said that in passing to and fro, the savages made offerings of tobacco and 
other articles to the Great Spirits in order to gain their good will. These 
deities were supposed to have a subterranean abode under the island, the entrance 
to which was near the base of the hill, just below the present southern gate of the 
fort. It was often the chosen home of the savage tribes, from the security which 
it afforded against their enemies. 

The second period embraces the early voyages of Father Marquette, his founding 
of the college for the education of Indian youths in 1671 ; the death of the explorer, 
and three years aferwards the remarkable funeral procession of canoes in which his 
Indian converts brought back his body from its first burial place on Lake Michigan, 
to the little mission on the Straits of Mackinac, which in life he loved so well. The 
fir.1t pale faces who ventured into this region we-re Jesuit miss'ionaries. who 



established the Ottawa mission of Sault Ste. Marie, the first permanent settlement in 
Michigan. The first vessel ever seen on these waters was the " Griffin," built by 
the explorer, La Salle, on Lake Erie in 1678. Thus commenced the third or com- 
mercial period. 

The fourth or military period begins in 1^95. At that date, Cadillac, who 
afterwards founded Detroit, established a small fort on the straits. Then came 
contests and skirmishes not unmingled with massacres, for the. Indians enlisted on 
both sides. Finally the post of Mackinac, together with all the French strongholds 
on the lakes was surrendered to the English in September, 1761. The flags of three 
nations successively floated over this island. It has been the theatre of many a 
bloody tragedy. Powerful nations contended for its possession, and its internal 
peace was constantly broken by the white man's duplicity and the red man's 
treachery. In 1763 began the conspiracy of Pontiac, wonderful for the sagacity 

with which it was planned, 
and the vigor with which it 
was executed Pontiac was 
the most remarkable Indian of 
all the lake tribes. He was a 
firm friend of the French, and 
to aid their cause, arranged a 
simultaneous attack upon all 
the English forts in the lake 
country. Among those taken 
by surprise and destroyed was 
the little post on the Straits of 
Mackinac at Old Mackinaw.

peace having been made with the Indians, troops were again sent to raise the English 
flag over the fort. July 15, 1780, the British abandoned the fort at Old Mackinaw, and 
transferred the garrison to Mackinac Island, where they built the present Fort 
Mackinac. The history of modern Mackinac properly begins at this date. By a 
treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States, signed September 3, 
1783, the island fell within the boundary of the United States, but under various 
pretenses the English refused to withdraw their troops. By a second treaty con- 
cluded November 19, 1794, it was stipulated that the British should withdraw on or 
before June i, 1797. Two companies of U. S. troops arrived October, 1796, and 
took possession, a previous treaty with the Indians having secured from them the post, 
and the stars and stripes superseding the cross of St. George and the lilies of the 
Bourbons, waved for a time peacefully over the heights. During the war of 18 12, 
the island was again surrendered to the British. After the victory of Commodore 

Perry on Lake Erie in 
1813, an effort was made 
to recapture it, which 
proved unsuccessful. The 
troops sent were insuffi- 
cient in numbers, the 
clumsy vessels which 
were to support them, 
could do nothing against 
the winds and waves, and 
not until the conclusion of 
peace in 1814, was the 
American flag again hoist- 
ed over the Gibraltar of 
the lakes. 

The fifth, or fur trad- 
ing period, opened in 
1809, when John Jacob .\stor organized the 
American Fur Company with a capital of two 
millions, and bought out the numerous strug- 
gling associations along the straits. For forty 




ASTOR RELICS. 



years this company monopolized the fur trade, 
and Mackinac, the great central market, was the busiest and gayest post on the lakes. 
These were Mackinac's palmy days. Her two little streets were crowded with people, 
and her warehouses filled with merchandise. Mr. Astor sold out in 1834. The 
energy and controlling influence which he had given the enterprise went with 
him ; the company soon became involved, and in 1848 the business was aban- 
doned. In its best days it v/as one of mammoth proportions. Here also the 
U. S. government made the annual Indian payments, when the neighboring tribes 
assembled by thousands to receive their stipend. 

The sixth period is the summer resort of our modern times, which distinction is 
mainly owing to the facilities for reaching it recently afforded by three railroads and 
the steamers of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company, all of which 
centre here, and for the want of which Mackinaw, until within a few years, remained 
in a dormant state. The first steamboat to arrive at Mackinac was the Walk-in-the- 
water, in 1810. 







BATTLEGROUND. 

The most tangible evidence of 
the extent of the business of the 
American Fur Company is found 
in the large warehouse solidly 
built for the storage of peltries, 
and which has been known for 
many years as the John Jacob 
Aster Hotel. The proprietor 
proudly exhibits the ancient ac- 
count and correspondence 
books. 

The many letters, laboriously 
and neatly copied into these old 
volumes, form very interesting 
reading, although one is stirred 
to anger at discovering the 
mutilation and defacement of 
many pages by scribbling fools 
shown. 

The Astor " strong box " may be seen at Col. Fenton's curiosity store. 

During much of the period defined by the writer, quoted as the fifth epoch, 
Mackinac Island was a port of considerable importance. Fleets of vessels sailing up 
Lake Huron from Detroit, and destined for Chicago or Milwaukee, found it needful 
to put in at this point for repairs and supplies. It was a long journey in those days 
from port to port. 

It is said that the village offered so many allurements to captains and crews, 
that sometimes laden ships swung at anchor for weeks, while their people rioted 
among the gambling dens and bar-rooms that lined the waterfront. Nowadays, 
ship-owners know from day to day just where their vessels are, and such " play by 
the way," would be out of the question.

The major portion of the island is owned by the United States government, and 
is constituted as a national park. Lands held under private title and this public 
domain are dove-tailed and interjected in a most confusing fashion, but the lines are 
carefully defined and the government property is under the efficient charge of the 
commandant of the fort. Capt. Greenleaf A. Goodale, a most popular officer, is the 
present incumbent, and takes an enthusiastic interest in the protection of the many 
remarkable natural wonders of the island and its forest growth, as well as affording 
every proper facility for the encouragement of cottage building and the exploration 
of the island by visitors. 

To facilitate the latter, many new roads through the woods have been made 
during the past season under the direction of the superintendent, and former roads 
have been generally improved. Wheelmen will find many miles of first-rate riding 
in future seasons. 

That the scores of remarkable rock formations may be seen to advantage, the 
visitor should employ both carriage and boat. 

In placid summer weather when a light wind ruffles the lake, a sail entirely 
around the island will be found very enjoyable. 

The fine full page bird's-eye view found upon another page, with its numbers 
indicating interesting points, will serve to give a good general idea of their 
distance from the hotels. These may be briefly described in detail.

UILT by the English over a hundred years ago, stands on a 
rocky eminence just above the town, and is now garrisoned 
by a small company of U. S. troops, and mounted by a few cannon 
of small calibre. There are various ways of reaching it from the 
village. Up the steps is probably the easiest, and the combined 
marine and landscape view from the gun platform is magnificent. 
Below are seen the government stables, blacksmith's shop, granary 
and company's garden. On the battlements are the old block 
houses, pierced with port holes. Within the enclosure are the 
officers' quarters, guard-house, barracks, commissary and maga- 
zine, with the hospital building just outside. When built, the 
fort was enclosed by a palisade of cedar pickets, ten feet high, intended as a defense 
against Indians. To make it impossible to scale this palisade, each picket was 
protected at the top by sharp iron prongs, and by hooks outside. 

Starting from this spot, following the foot-path along the brow of the bluff 
overlooking the eastern part of the town, visitors will be delighied with the grand 
panorama which meets the view. Nearly three-fourths of a mile from the fort, at 
the southeastern angle of the island, is the overhanging cliff known as 



i^(o)yij^s®i?]i's F© 



The legends connected with this cliff differ in the hands of different writers. 
One has it that " Captain Robinson, a great admirer of ladies, while strolling 
in the woods suddenly beheld a few rods before him a beautiful girl, who retreated as 



fast as he approached, until finally she stood almost on the edge of the cliff, and in 
his eagerness to capture, as well to save her from destruction should she lose hei 
balance, the captain sprang forward to seize her, but Just as he clutched her arm, 
she threw herself forward into the chasm, dragging her tormentor and would-be savior 
with her. His body alone was found. He was long mourned by his men and 
brother officers; but by and by it began to be whispered that the captain had 
indulged too freely in the fine old French brandy that the fur traders brought up from 
Montreal, and the lady was a mere ignis fatuus of his excited imagination, but the 
mantle of charity has been thrown over the tragedy, and a romantic explanation 
given in its place." 

Another writer says: "After the removal of the fort to the island in 1780, 
Captain Robinson, who then commanded the post, had a summer house built upon 

the cliff, which soon became a fre- 
quent resort for himself and brother 
officers Pipes, cigars and wine 

were called into requisition, for no 
entertamment was thought complete 
without them, and thus many an 
hour passed pleasantly away. After 
a few years by the action of the 
elements, a portion of the cliff, to- 
gether with the house, fell to the 
base of the rock, which disastrous 
event gave rise to the 
name." The brow of this 
cliff is 127 feet high.

A walk along the brow of the bluff brings you to the far-famed

This is a curiosity which must be seen to be appreciated. Words cannot fully 
describe its grandeur. It is a magnificent natural arch, spanning a chasm of eighty 
feet or more in height, and forty feet in width. The opening underneath has been 
produced by the falling of great masses of rock, which are seen lying on the beach 
below. A path to the right leads to the brink of the arch, the summit of which is 

three feet wide and one hundred and forty- 
nine feet above the lake. From this dizzy 
height a most magnificent view presents 
itself. Below lies the broad expanse of 
Lake Huron, dotted in the distance with 
green gems of islands, and at the feet 
splashes its waves upon a pebbly beach, 
as if they were ever hastening to 
the bidding of Ariel's

ing through the great 
chasm we come upon a 
second arch of less majes- 
tic proportions, but equal, 
ly curious and wonderful, 
and looking up, the 
mighty arch seems sus- 
pended above us in mid- 
air. The rains and frosts 
have every year made 
great ravages, and the 
rock cannot long resist 
their action. Taking the

summit of the rock is two hundred and eighty-four feet above the lake, giving 
an elevation of one hundred and thirty-four feet to the rock itself. Its com- 
position is the same as that of Arch Rock. Its shape is conical, and from its 
crevices grow a few vines and cedars. It is cavernous and somewhat crystalline, 
with its strata distorted in every direction. In the north side is an opening sufficient 
to admit several individuals. The view is very fine from the top. Traces of water 
action are seen on these two rocks, and are particular examples of denuding pro- 
cesses, which could only have operated while near the level of a large body of water 
like the great lake itself.

where Captain Roberts disembarked his forces of English, French and Indians to 
take the island in 1812. The American troops, under Col. Croghan, also landed 
here in August, 1814, under cover of the guns of the squadron, and marched to the 
edge of the clearing (now Early's farm), where the enemy were in waiting. In a few 
secondsa fire was opened upon him, and the woods on every sideliterally swarmed with 
savages. After a vigorous attempt to drive the enemy from their stronghold, he was

low, but once inside a giant might stand erect. A most peculiar sensation comes 
over one on entering this dim cavern, and unless provided with a candle or lantern 
the visitor will find himself in almost total darkness. 

Leaving the town at its western extremity, and following the foot-path around 
the brow of the high bluffs which bound the southwestern side of the island, 
for about a mile, then, descending a zig-zag stair, you come to the

CHIMNEY ROCK, ISLAND OF MACKINAC 



this island home of the genii, Me-che-ne-mock-c-nung-o-qua, a young Ojibeway girl, 
often wandered there and gazed from its dizzy heights, to witness the receding 
canoes of the large war parties of the Ojibewas and Ottawas speeding south, seeking 
fame and scalps. Here she first met her lover, Ge-niw-e-gwon ; here she sat, 
mused and sang her love songs, and here watched and listened for the return of the 
war parties, among whom she looked for her hero, whose head decorated with war 
eagle plumes, which none but a brave could wear, would be first turned to her. The 
wind often wafted far in advance the shouts of victory as they left Pe-quod-e-nong 
(Old Mackinaw) to cross to Fairy Island. Once when the party returned, she could 
not distinguish his familiar and loved war shout, and her spirit told her that he had 
gone to the happy hunting grounds. An enemy's arrow had pierced his breast. The 
girl's heart was broken, and she constantly saw her beloved beckoning her to follow 
him, appearing to her in human shape but invisible to others. One morning her body 
was found mangled at the foot of this bluff, her soul had gone to meet her warrior in 
the spirit land. Some distance from this is

which is said to be one of the most remarkable freaks of Nature. A foot-path which 
leads from the beach near the base of Lover's Leap to the plateau above brings you to 
the Davenport farm, now owned by the Mackinac Island Summer Resort Association, 
where a miniature village of elegant summer cottages has been built, to which 
additions are made each season. A central building is used as a dining hall, from 
which meals are furnished at very near cost. Eighty acres have been neatly laid out 
and platted, and lots for the erection of cottages can be purchased on very advan- 
tageous terms. Improvements already aggregate many thousands of dollars. Hav- 
ing made the circuit of the island, let us ascend to

and seating ourselves look around from the high station built years ago by govern- 
ment engineers. We can see nearly every part of the island at our feet. The little 
clearings were once cultivated as gardens by American soldiers. Memory is busy 
with what has been written of scenes of the past as we gaze upon the adjacent islands, 
mainland and the vast expanse of water surrounding us. Two hundred and fifty 
years ago, only bark canoes dotted its surface, then came the Canadian voj'ageur, 
rowing or paddling his large batteau, later the white sails of a sea-going vessel, and 
now steamers and vessels by hundreds rend the air with shrill whistles, or fling their 
white sails to the breeze, as burdened with the wealth of the nation and its precious 
lives, with swan-like grace and ease, they pass and repass like courtiers paying homage 
to their queen. Thus elevated above all that surrounds it, the panorama before us 
would justify the epithet to Mackinac of "Queen of the Isles." Up the straits are 
green islets peeping above the waters, in front, Round Island forms a beautiful fore- 
ground, while Bois Blanc, with its light-house, stretch away to the east, and to the 
north are other islands which complete the archipelago. The mid-day beauties, how- 
ever, vanish before those of the setting sun, when the boundless horizon seems girt 
by a fiery zone of clouds, and the brilliant display of skies jjaints itself upon the 



surface of the waters. Brief as they are beautiful, these evening glories quickly 
pass away, and the mantle of night warns us to depart while we may yet make our 
way along the narrow path. 




WINDERMERE COTTAGE, ROUND POINT, MACKINAC. 

OWNED BY C. E. AND C. M. ANTHONY, PEORIA, ILL. 

Miss Woolson's writings have thrown a wierd witchery about Mackinac, and it has 
been to her a favorite spot for the locale of her romances. In answer to a letter ask- 
ing for information, as to the 
number of times she had writ- 
ten of the place, Miss Woolson 
says : "I have often alluded to 
Mackinac in my sketches and 
stories. The second sketch I 
wrote (then beginning) was 
about Mackinac ; it was called 
" Fairy Island," and was pure- 
ly descriptive. There was, later, 
a short story of mine in the 
"Galaxy," called "Flower of 
the Snow," whose scene was 
Mackinac. But these were ten- 
tative merely. The first real 
description I gave of the island 
in print were two short stories, 
one called " The Old Agency," 
the other "Jeannette," both 
published in " Scribner's Mag- 
azine," now the "Century." 
Twice, then, in my novel 
"Anne" the island appears 
again ; it is the scene of the 
OLD MISSION CHURCH, MACKINAC. fifst quartcr of that story."

Indeed, Mackinac might well be the scene of romances yet unwritten, not only on 
account of its unique and beautiful situation, but because of its native inhabitants, in 
whose strongly marked characteristics there is yet unmined material for the book- 
makers. Here are to be found people who were born on the island, have seen their 
three score and ten and never yet stepped foot upon the mainland, those who taught 
the Indians in the old days of the mission, and the fashionable lounger of to-day. It 
is full of contrasts and surprises, and has long been called the " Wonderful Isle" from 
the fascination it seems to hold for all who have ever lived on its shores. One of 
the most enthusiastic admirers of the place whom we ever met, is an old gentleman 
now living in Chicago, who was a resident of Mackinac in the old mission days. 
Since that time he has seen the vast West grow from a wilderness to a mighty empire ; 
he has seen Chicago spring from a smaller post than Mackinaw now is, to the proud 
proportions of the western metropolis ; he has been a potent factor in its growth, but 
he has never lost his affection for Mackinac, nor his desire to visit it often. He could 
not be persuaded to part with a portion of the land which he owns there, were it not 
to share the happiness of its possession with others. The island is as important from 
a sanitary point of view, as it is attractive and beautiful from the aesthetic. 

Among the long list of names of prominent people who have visited Mackinac 
Island and the surrounding region, is that of Dr. William A. Hammond, of New 
York, who subsequently wrote an enthusiastic letter to the A^eiv York World, from 
which we make, with the writer's permission, the following extract : 

TO KEEP WELL IN SUMMER. 

N. Y. lVoyld,Ju7ie 15, 1S8S. 

" So far as my personal experience goes, there is no place so good in every 
respect for the exhausted city worker of the East, the banker, the merchant, the pro- 
fessional man and his wife and children — who have probably in their way worked 
as hard as he has — as the Island of Mackinac. 

It lies in the straits of the same name, between Lakes Michigan and Huron. 
Every breeze that comes to it blows over the water and parts with its surplus heat. 
The air is dry and bracing ; the middle of the day warm for two or three hours ; the 
nights cool and invigorating. There is not a bad smell in the island ; not a mosquito 
nor any other kind of pestilent insect. I found all this out when I was stationed 
there as medical officer a year before the civil war. I tried it last year on the 
strengtji of my recollections of more than'twenty-five years ago, and, as the result of 
my experience, I am going there again this year. It is a long journey from here 
there, but a good part of it can be accomplished on the lakes by boat, and any dis- 
comforts of travel are amply compensated for after the island is reached." 

In reply to a request for permission to quote the foregoing, Dr. Hammond also 
says : 

" I have no hesitation in saying that it is the best summer resort of which I have 
any knowledge for persons whose nervous systems are run down, or who desire to 
be built up and strengthened." •

it'll of Northern Michigan's many attractions are within easy reach of Mackinac 
®/ jL Island. Indeed, so central is this spot, that the " Mackinac Region," as com- 
monly spoken of, is supposed to include every attraction of the Great Lake Region of 
Upper Michigan. All methods of travel may be called into use, and all seem to start 
from a common centre or hub, radiating as they do from this small island. Perhaps 
the most important of these secondary points is the Little Traverse Bay. Here, cluster- 
ing within a mile or two of each other, and with fast extending suburbs almost touch- 
ing, are Pctoskey, Bay View, Wcquetonsing, Harbor Springs and Harbor Point. 
The most expeditious route is via the G. R. & I. Railway, whose excellent train 
service renders communication possible at almost any hour of the day. The distance 
by rail route is only thirty-five miles from Mackinaw City, the nearest point to 
Mackinac, on the mainland. They may also be reached by either the day or night 
lines of steamers by way of Lake Michigan. By this route the mileage is nearly 
doubled, and the better part of a day or night occupied in the journey. By far the 
prettiest route is via the picturesque Inland Line of steamers through Mullet Lake 
and Indian River. The steamers leave Mackinac every morning early, and occupy 
the whole day in their tortuous windings. We speak more particularly of this in 
another chapter. The Michigan Central Railroad leading directly south, touches 
Topinabee and Indian River in an hour's ride from Mackinac. These points are also 
local to the Inland Route, the former being the point at which the boats usually 
stop for dinner. 

Charlevoix and Traverse City are interesting points on Grand Traverse Bay, and 
are best reached by the steamers on Lake Michigan. They are about a day's ride 
from Mackinac. 

A line of splendid steamers makes daily trips to the Sault Ste. Marie, leaving 
Mackinac about nine in the morning, and passing all of the superb scenery of the 
St. Mary's River by daylight. At the Soo, connections are made with the through 
steamships running to the north and south shores of Lake Superior and to the 
Canadian ports situated on Georgian Bay. 

In a water trip to Chicago or Milwaukee, there is considerable diversity of 
choice. The Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Transportation Co.'s through steam- 
ers running without stops straight through the centre of the lake, afford a quick 
trip and the novelty of being in mid-sea for twenty-four hours. The Northern 
Michigan steamers, coasting to all important points on the Lake Michigan east coast, 
and consequently taking up more time, afford the tourist a better opportunity to view 
the industries of the region. Coming back to the service more directly connected with 
the island, we may mention that nothing gives a more general idea of its wonders 
than a trip around its shores in one of the numerous steam yachts. These trips are 
on at all hours of the day. So, also, are the fishing excursions to Les Cheneaux, than 
which no more delightful way of spending one day may be contrived. The ferry 
steamers, and the cons;ant movement of steamers of regular routes, afford excellent 
opportunities to visit the mainland either north or south at any hour of the day or 
night.

There is a pleasing aroma of history about St. Ignace, sometimes called the Gate 
City of the Upper Peninsula. The place, which is immediately opposite Mackinac 
Island, was founded in 1671 by Father Marquette, and lor a quarter 01 a century it was 
the centre of interest in what was then the wiideroess of Michigan. Near by clus- 
tered Indian villages, inhabited by six or seven thousana savages, it was from this 
place that Marquette set out May 17, 1673, in search of tne Mississippi, then called 
the Great River. His bones were brough. back four years later, and buried in a vault 
in a chapel which he constructed. After this chapel was burned his resting-place 
was lost sight of until a few years ago, when excavations brought to light frag- 
ments of the bark coffin and bones, which are carefully preserved as sacred relics. 
For a century and three quarters after, the Jesuits becoming discouraged, burned 
their chapel, and returned to Quebec, the town ceased to be of any importance, all 
interest being centered on Mackinac Island. New life has recently been given it by th*; 




march of improvement, and it is now the shipping point for a large amount of ore. 
telegraph poles, ties, iron, and other products of the Upper Peninsula, it being the 
southern terminus of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic R.R . which penetrates 
through the upper peninsula to Dulul.h. 

St. Ignace extends in a single street, in a semi-circle around the head of East Moran 
Bay for three and a half miles. The drive of four and one-half miles, to Groscap and 
along the winding shore to St. Martin's Creek is enjovable, and St. Anthony's, Bear 
Face and Castle Rocks, Rabbit's Back and Lake Chechock, Marquette's Grave and the 
old Catholic Church are full of interest to tourists. St. Ignace is the terminal point 
in the route of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company's steamerr. 
which proceed to that port, after touchin-j at Mackinac. 



A new hotel, "The Sherwood," with several lesser houses, fully meets the sum- 
mer demands of travel. 

St. Ignace is becoming a favorite point with capitalists because of its superior ship- 
ping facilities. The Martcl Smelting Furnaces, St. Ignace Manufacturing Co. and 
Mackinac Lumber Co. are all extensive enterprises. 

The region through which the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic R.R. passes is gen- 
erally heavily wooded and abounding in small lakes wherein is an abundance of bass, 
muscalonge and pickerel. In the many streamlets which reinforce the rivers flowing 
into both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior brook trout are abundant. In the hard- 
wood region bordering Lake Superior, the deer and other large game are so plentiful 
as to give that section the title of a veritable hunter's paradise. 

From Soo Junctioru passengers destined for the "Soo" (localism for Sault Ste. 
Marie), proceed eastward over that division, the distance being 47 miles. 

At Minising the track approaches Lake Superior. A good highway of three 
miles leads directly north to the old town Minising upon the bay of the same name. 
Boats and guides may be engaged here for a visit to the remarkable Pictured Rocks, 
a strange array of caves, grottoes, steep cliffs, isolated crags and fantastic shapes in 
stone extending in a very romantic fashion along the shore for a distance of about 
fifteen miles. 

A splendid harbor is formed at Minising by Grand Island, and yachting is a 
favorite diversion. 

Many sportsmen stop at Au Train and Onota for both fishing and gunning. 

The busy city of Marquette having a population of 9,000, is the most important 
place upon the line and is the general headquarters of the railroad company. The 
local attractions include fine drives to Mt. Mesnard, to Presque Isle, the great natural 
park of the town ; Dead River Falls, the outlook from Light House Point and its smooth 
beach to Picnic Rocks on the shore toward Presque Isle. Iron Bay, the harbor, is a 
favorite fishing ground. West from Marquette the iron region begins, and upon an 
extended narrow peninsula projected northward into the lake, is the richest copper 
field in the known world. A short railroad system (the Mineral Range R.R. and the 
Hancock and Calumet R.R.) affords ingress to the famous copper mines, the principal 
ones being the Calumet and Hecla, the Osceola and the Tamarac. Many stamp 
mills, copper works, smelting furnaces and co-incident industries are scattered 
through the valley. 

The recent extension of the railroad westward to Duluth has opened up a wild 
region as yet hardly explored by sportsmen. The distance from St. Ignace to Duluth 
is 405 miles. 

Many prosperous farming, lumbering and mining communities are strung like 
beads along the line, each having its especial attraction for hunters and investors. 



[p©t@slk(iy. 



In 17S7, Nee-i-too-shing, "Early Dawn," a chief of the Chippewas, with others of 
his tribe, went down the lake shore on a hunting and trapping expedition, and camped 
on the Manistee River, at a point where the City of Manistee now stands. On return- 
ing to his rude home in the early morning, he put back the deer skin door and 
turned to look at the sun, which, as it rose above the horizon, flashed its first 
bright shafts of light into his lodge. At that moment the first cry of his new-born 
child came to his ear, and he exclaimed: " Neyas Pe-to-se-ga," — Rising Sun. It was

COTTAGE AT BAY VIBW. 



very fitting that the heir of "Early Dawn" should be thus titled. The home 
of this chief was seven miles northwest of Harbor Springs, and the time was 
when 4,oco warriors could be mustered from the regions about this bay. 

At 22 years of age, Pe-to-se-ga took for a wife a maiden 
named Keway-ka-ba-wi-kwa, raised a family of fourteen children 
and became a chief and proprietor of nearly all the land now 
covered by the village site. Missionaries persuaded him that , 
Neyas was an abbreviation of Ignatius, and thus he be- 
came Ignatius Pe-to-se-ga. The present vi 
Petoskey is indebted to this chieftain for her 
name, corrupted from the more musical and 
ancestral original. She certainly had no -'; 
reason to be ashamed of her pedigree, for -^ 
the chief for whom she was christened had ." 
many sterling traits of character, ' 

Petoskey is a charming summer resort 
situated on the south side and near the head 
of Little Traverse Bay at the foot of high 
bluffs. A more romantic location could 
scarcely be imagined. Little Traverse Bay 
is nine miles long ; from a width of six miles 
at the mouth, the shores gradually approach 
each other until only two miles apart, form- 
ing the head of the bay into a half circle. The bay is here enclosed by high 
tablelands or higher hiils that approach the water in a succession of natural 
terraces, having the appearance of a vast amphitheatre, rising two hundred feet 
above the bay. In the centre of this stands Petoskey at an elevation of fifty feet. 
From this point the ground rises gradually to the natural limits of the town, thus 
giving to its denizens the benefits of the mild and invigorating breezes, and opening 
to all the beautiful views of the lake, bay and opposite shore. 

The climate of Petoskey is a sovereign one for bilious diseases, hay-fever, 
etc. The Western Hay Fever Association has its headquarters here. No watering 
place or summer resort on the continent can boast of purer air, fresher breezes, 
or better whitefish than Petoskey. The facilities for recreation are also good. 
The woods abound with game, and the rivers and lakes are full of fish. Bear 
River, which enters into Little Traverse Bay, near Petoskey, is a wonderful stream. 
Bear Lake, its source, is twelve miles long and one mile wide, and is one hundred 
feet above the level of the bay. 

If we are out in a boat on the bay and look in toward the land, we perceive 
that Petoskey occupies a series of picturesque undulations that spread out on 
either hand, and rise to the rear in the form of an amphitheatre. A lofty lime- 
Stone cliff flanks the town on the west. Its top is crowned with trees, among 
which are discovered the tents of many vacation tourists who are "camping out." 
Behind them rises an overtopping eminence, dotted with pretentious villas of 
wealthy residents. From the verge of this cliff the outlook is superb. Across, 
five miles distant, is the ridge of hills that line the opposite side of the Little 
Traverse Bay. These sweep round in a symmetrical curve to the head of the 
bay, two miles to the right, and then follow the hither shore until they rise and 
terminate in high cliffs. All along in that direction, as far as sight can reach, 




giant's staircase, MACKINAC ISLAND. 



can be traced the white line of a pebbly shore limned against the green of the 
hills ; and then from the base of the cliff, in a sweep of two miles or more 
to the left, it forms a crescent, ending in a wooded point. Tree-covered hills 
slope gently back and upward from the beach, and pretty cottages peep out 
from among their bra^^ches. The principal part of the tov^ lies in the bowl 
of the amphitheatre, from which a practicable road leads through a ravine 
to the long pier which projects ' from the hollow of the crescent into the bay. 
This pier gives additional character and life to the scenery. 

Petoskey has a water front of one and one-half miles, and extends inland 
about the same distance : it is of comparatively recent date. The locomotive 
engine, that vanguard of civilization, first pierced this almost interminable 
northern wilderness in 1S74. At that time the surrounding country was a wild- 
erness, but a few years have wrougnt a wonderful transformation. The village 
now numbers over 6,000 souls. It is surrounded by a thriving and populous 
farming community. The transition from brush heaps, stumps and log houses 
to graded streets, broad walks, fine stores and dwellings, schools and churches, 
palatial hotels, electric lights and a system of water works which a metropolitan 
city might well be proud of, has been magical. 




COTTAGE AT BAV VIKW. 



Bay View, not quite two miles distant, extends one and one-fourth miles 
along the beach and one-half mile back. It is a resort owned by the Michigan 
Camp Ground Association; it is the Ocean Grove and Martha's Vineyard of the 
North combined in one. Bay View is very emphatically Methodistic in its 
origin, history and purposes. A company of Michigan Methodists a few years 
since made a thorough examination of a large number of places with a view 
of locating a State camp ground and summer residence, and finally decided 
upon this location as the most desirable. An association was formed, to which 
were donated 500 acres of land, on condition that a given amount of money 
should be expended in the way of improvements within a stated time. The 
relation has proved to be very fortunate, and the two-fold purpose had in view 
is being fully realized. 

Though but a few years have passed since the location of the grounds. Bay View 
has already become immensely popular. Large numbers from the East and 
South annually avail themselves of the privileges it affords, and the association 
is increasing every year.

THE manifold attractions of the beautiful city of Makquette have placed it in the 
front rank of the pleasure resorts of the North, while the salubrity of its climate 
has rendered it equally popular as a health resort, especially with hay-fever patients, 
who will find absolute relief here. 

Its situation is commanding, and scenic attractions unrivaled, the city being located on 
one of the finest bays of the Lake Superior coast. It rises like an amphitheater from the 
margin of the bay, and is finely built, the brown stone of the district being largely and 
most effectively employed. 

The population does not exceed 8,500, yet the city presents more evidences of wealth, 
refinement and public spirit, than many places ten times its size. It has three great iron 
docks, lighted with electricity, and enormous shipments of iron ore take place every season. 

The summer temperature of Marquette is such as to give it a decided advantage over 
ever}' other locality in the Northwest, while its nights are especially cool and refreshing. 

The drives in and about ihe city are all that could be desired — the roads being macada- 
mized. There are many favorite places of resort within easy reach. Four miles west is 
Presque Isle; a short distance east of the city is Mt. Mesnard, from the summit of which a 
magnificent panorama stretches away in every direction. Far away to the north looms up 
the bold promontory of Granite Point, while to the cast may be descried the famous White- 
fish Bay. The coast everywhere abounds in picturesque scenery, forty miles eastward being 
the celebrated " Pictured Rocks." 

The attractions for sportsmen are unsurpassed. The forests abound with deer, and 
hunting parties are made up almost daily during the season. The large Mackinaw trout 
are caught in the lake by trolling, while the inland streams abound with brook trout, black 
bass, perch and pike. In Pine Lake, thirty miles north, is found that beautiful fish, 
the Grayling. . 



It is beautifully located. The land rises from the bay in natural terraces, 
which afford delightful sites for residences. A great part of the land is platted 
into lots and a large number of cottages, ranging in cost from $200 to !|5,ooo, 
have been built. The Bay View cottages are supplied with clear, cold water 
through pipes from a never-failing spring on a hillside, seventy feet above the 
grounds. The cozy and picturesque residences built along the terraces facing 
the beautiful little bay, form most attractive and quiet summer homes. 

The bay itself is a gem of beauty, the grounds are delightful, the air is pure, 
the climate is healthful, the forests are grand, the water is excellent and the place 
is easy of access. There are a depot and wharf on the grounds with daily boats 
and trains. 

The one thing, however, that has brought Bay View into a prominence 
among summer resorts only second to Chautauqua, was the establishment of 
the Bay View Assembly in 1S86. This is a branch of Chautauqua and the 
Assembly of 18SS was a marvelous success both in point of attendance, 
and the extent and character of the assembly work. Here for a month were 
given a series of lectures and concerts by the most eminent specialists, lecturers and 
artists before the public. Various new departments were opened, in 188S, and prompt- 
ly filled with earnest workers. par-

located at the outlet of Pine Lake, 
near the village of Charlevoix, 
which is located upon the shores of Lake Michigan, sixteen miles westerly from 
Petoskey. 

As at Harbor Point, the element of healthful cottage life exists here as a 
leading feature, scores of pretty summer homes peeping out from the groves, and 
growing in numbers every year. As at other points described, the fishing here is of 
unvarying excellence in either Lake Michigan, Pine Lake, or their diminutive

is on the north side of Little Traverse Bay, four miles from Petoskey and Bay View. 
The village is located on a beautiful harbor, formed by Harbor Point, projecting into 
the bay, and enclosing a surface of water a mile in length and half a mile in width. 
The Indians call this small bay Wequetonsing. The shore is a pebbly beach, washed 
by waters of such crystal purity that fish and other objects are plainly visible upon 



the bottom, at a depth of thirty to fifty feet. All along the water's edge are large 
springs, from which gush streams of water as clear as air, and only twelve to 
fourteen degrees above freezing point, the health-giving properties of which are 
truly marvelous. The land rises some ten or fifteen feet, the business portion of the 
town being located on the level. Back of this rises an abrupt bluff seventy-five to 
one hundred feet. Fine building sites are found on the terraced plateau above. A 
small trout creek, starting from the springs, winds its way across the lower flat, and 
flows into the bay. 

The history of the place is full of interest. Pieces of ancient pottery have been 
found here, indicating that it was once a stopping place frequented by the extinct 
race of mound builders on their journeys from Mexico, to the Lake Superior mines. 
For ages it was a camping ground for the Indians, for whom it was well situated, its 
harbor being secure and abounding in fish. For many years it was a central point for 
the payment of annuities, and was a trading post next in importance to Mackinac. 
There are a few Indians still left who retain all the characteristics of their race. 
Among the many curious legends concerning the place, one relates to Devil's Pond, 
an innocent looking pool near the portage of Harbor Point, where the Indians believe 
the bad spirit dwell until frightened away by the noise of the white man's saw mill. 
The scenery in this vicinity is beautiful ; at the foot of the bluffs lies the picturesque 
village, then the harbor, a lovely sheet of water, reflecting on its placid bosom the 
drifting clouds, stars and trees, every tint being mirrored with perfect distinctness. 
Beyond is the open bay, with the surrounding shores rising in a succession of 
wooded hills. Through the trees on the opposite shore is seen Bay View and 
Petoskey, and to the right is the broad expanse of Lake Michigan.

This small, but most charming summer resort is located on the point that curves 
out into the waters of Little Traverse Bay, and forms the beautiful harbor, on the 
northern shore of which sits Harbor Springs. 

Harbor Point belongs to an association of cottage and lot holders, and the aid 
rendered by art to the natural advantages of the spot, makes it one of the loveliest bits 
of ground in the whole region. It is well shaded with native forest trees, has a fine 
water frontage on Little Traverse Bay, on the south side, while the always quiet 
waters of the placid "Harbor" on the north front afford the best and safest of 
boating in all weathers. Many of the cottages are elaborate and most comfortable, 
while the society is of the best. The association has no denominational bias, but 
was formed and is maintained as a purely civil society, with no other object 
than to beautify the surroundings and make pleasant the summer life of its 
members.

is the youngest of the summer resorts which cluster around the blue waters of Little 
Traverse Bay, but by no means the least promising. It is situated on the northern 
shore of Little Traverse Bay, two miles east of Harbor Springs, and is connected 
with its sister resorts by quick trains and half-hourly steamboats. It is distinctively 
a Presbyterian resort, but not exclusive. It is already a village of over one hundred 
cottages, which number will be largely increased this year. Its people are conserv- 
ative, and seek to make the summer life of the place restful and healthful. 

The leading summer hotel of the Traverse Region is the handsome Arling- 
ton, which, standing in the midst of shaded, well-kept grounds, and overlooking 
the bay and town, at once claims the attention of every passing traveler and 
wins the good will of all who lodge beneath its roof. It is fitted out with all 
the approved conveniences and luxuries now demanded by a fastidious public.

A little steamer crosses from Mackinac Island to Cheboygan, and leaves 
at nine o'clock for a trip to Petoskey, by the wonderfully novel and attract-

headed up the Cheboygan, picking her way through logs, which generally 
obstruct the river. An industry peculiar to Northern Michigan is indicated by 
busy saw-mills; and though piles of lumber obstructed our view, we caught 
glimpses of our winding course, in time to save a dawning conviction that

of which was closed. On our entering, the water from the river, ten feet 
above, was gradually let in from the bottom, and our craft lifted to the upper level. 

Three miles above this point, Black River empties into the Cheboygan, and 
is the outlet of Black Lake, which is twelve miles from the junction of the 
two rivers, and covers an area of six by four miles. Rapids, within a few 
miles of the lake, make further navigation by steamer impossible. A pano- 
rama of beautiful landscape is opened as we proceed, and Mullet Lake with 
its placid waters, wooded shores and attractive spots for camping, was reached 
before noon. The lake is six miles above Cheboygan, and is a beautiful body 
of water, twelve miles long, and from five to eight wide. It is full of fish 
and its borders abound in game. Into it empty Pigeon, Indian and Sturgeon 
Rivers. On the right, nearly across the lake, is Topinabee, where a stop is 
made for dinner. The Northern Hay Fever Association, Pike's Hotel, railway 
station, telegraph office and stores are located here. 

Soon after leaving the Topinabee, we entered Indian River, which some 
poet has likened to a "silver thread on Nature's carpet." Seven miles of 
beautiful river scenery, and Indian River village is reached, five of these 
crooked miles, which cover all points of the compass, would make only three 
as the crow flies. Fishing and shooting parties in boats, were met and towed 
by our accommodating captain to points farther on. After leaving this romantic 
little village, we had fallen into a quiet contemplation of our novel surround- 
ings, when we were startled out of our reveries by a shrill whistle, seemingly 
coming but a few feet away from the bank of the river, and the next moment 
we were hardly less surprised to see the small steam yacht "Louie" suddenly 
shoot out from behind a bend just ahead. It seemed a saucy affair, both the 
whistle and the sudden appearance; the craft as much as saying: " Look out 
there! I claim the right of way here!" She contained a pleasure party, and 
the engineer, some eight years of age, sat unconcernedly by the boiler, answer- 
ing signals given by the captain at the wheel. At the bends in the river one 
could easily jump ashore from bow or stern. It seemed at times impossible 
to navigate so crooked a stream, the steamer going at the bank as if it meant 
to jump it, but a clever turn of the wheel brought us out all right, causing 
little damage — to the shore. 

A conspicuous sign on the bank indicated that the cluster of Indian huts, 
settlers' cabins and tents of tourists was styled " Columbus Landing," and 
while gazing at it, the steamer shot into Burt's Lake, unnoticed. An odd 
looking steam craft seen off at a distance, proved to be a floating saw-mill, 
which ties up to the farmers' docks, and saws their lumber almost at their 
doors. At the small wharves along the shore, the steamer, if signalled, will 
stop. In case there is no landing, passengers frequently come out in small 
boats. Burt's Lake is ten miles long and five wide. It is fed by Crooked, Maple 
and Sturgeon Rivers, all large streams. Maple River is also the outlet of Doug- 
lass Lake, which lies two miles north. Once across this lake we suddenly 
swung in apparently for the shore, but no; it proved to be for the mouth of 
the river, narrower and more crooked ihan we had yet seen. The passage of 
Crooked River, seven miles long, was the most highly interesting and novel 
portion of the trip. We wondered how the steamer would be able even to 
enter, as floating logs filled all the space, the very mouth being closed by a 
boom to keep them in. A rope was hitched to the stake, which the steamer 



pulled out, letting the boom go, and we went at the jam of logs at full speed, 
jumping some, pushing others with pike poles, and so making our way in 
amongst them. The river drivers with red pantaloons and spiked boots, skipped 
around on the logs with a careless indifference to their uncertain footing, that 
would have sent a novice into the water at short notice. With their pike poles 
they rendered efficient aid, and after much pushing, pulling and butting, we 
finally got clear. Once more well in the river, our attention was absorbed with 
the navigation of the little steamer. Owing to the narrow, winding course, at 
times it seemed impossible to go farther, but by making very short turns and wind- 
ing around abrupt angles, we threaded the labyrinth, being able, quite often, to pick 
evergreens from the shore on either side. Bump ! she would go into the bank, her 
stem swinging in, and off again for the opposite bank, and so on for miles. A short 
distance beyond the jam of logs, a lighter, containing kitchen and bunks, was being 
floated along, to be within easy reach for meals and shelter for the men on the drive 
just passed. Farther on was the tail end of the drive, a single man gathering stray 
logs into a raft, his boat tied astern. It was all very interesting, the scenery beauti- 
ful and the whole affair novel in the extreme. We shortly entered Crooked Lake; 
which is five miles long, and famous for bass fishing, and numerous delightful loca- 
tions for camping along its shores. In a few moments we were landed in the woods 
at Odin, at the head of the lake; and we bade good bye to the little steamer and its 
good-natured captain with regret. 

The Dummy, another novelty, was waiting at the station to take us the last eight 
miles of our journey, over the G. R. & I. R. R. track, to Petoskey. Its open cars 
afforded a splendid view en route of the Bay View, Harbor Springs and Point resorts 
for cottagers. As we looked across the beautiful bay, the whole scene reminded us 
of an amphitheatre on a grand scale. Our train stopped at the Arlington Hotel in 
time for supper, and a stroll about the young but famous town, before the departure 
of the train for Mackinac City, thirty-three miles away. We then took the ferry 
"Algomah " for Mackinac Island, seven miles distant.

largest and most gamy varieties, fairly swarm in all directions, and the most blase 
angler will find sport worthy of his mettle. Trout may be caught in the streams on 
the adjacent mainland, and the huntsman will find plenty of deer and bear, also small 
game. 

Parties not intending to camp should stop at The Elliott, which is situated on 
Grand La Salle Island, near the centre of the group. This hotel accomm.odates 
one hundred guests, and will furnish meals to campers if desired, also boats, bait 
and guides. It is entirely new this season, and being managed by prominent capital- 
ists, will assuredly prove successful in filling the greatest need this region has ever 
known. 

Les Cheneaux Islands have, during the past three years, been the camp grounds of 
many important clubs, all of which sing loudly the praises of this veritable Sportsman's 
Paradise. 

Below are particulars of the most advantageous points, as culled by our fisherman 
last season. The key shows their precise location on the bird's-eye view. Wood 
is plentiful everywhere. Hay can be obtained from Patrick's, and lumber from 
Hayne's mill. 

A — Deep basin, with high, rocky shores. Best black bass fishery in the State — dur- 
ing east winds. B — Small clearing, with vacant cabin. High banks and good land-

^ ¥ ^HE following notes of a trip to the " Soo " are interesting: — One morning, 
A after breakfast, one of the day steamers called, on her way from Cheboygan, 
and we jumped aboard for a trip up the beautiful Soo River (Sault Ste. Marie). Skirt- 
ing the rocky cliffs of the isle, we passed down the west shore of Lake Huron. At 
noon a landing was made at Detour, just at the entrance of the land-locked waters 
of the Soo, whose repeated changes from a narrow entrance to a broad lake, then to 
a narrow, rapid river, and again to lakes, rivers and rapids, and its crooked courses 
around islands, which the currents have thus far failed to wash away, form a varied 
and charming experience scarcely ever surpassed. The passage of the Soo River 

must be made by day- 
light, and vessels are 
timed accordingly. 
Should they arrive at 
night, they anchor until 
after the early dawn. The 
steamers of this line are 
the only ones that make 
the passage by mid-day. 
The channels are narrow, shallow and crooked. 
Boulders and shoals hidden just out of sight, lie 
all about, and sailors keep a sharp look-out here. 
The Sault Ste. Marie River connects Lakes Superior 
and Huron, is sixty-two miles in length, and forms 
the boundary between the United States and Can- 
ada. Its mouth is a mile wide. Drummond's 
Island lies on the east, the main shore of Michigan on the west side of the entrance. 
Pipe Island is four miles ; St. Joseph's Island, Canada, with its old fort, eight miles ; 
Lime Island, ten miles ; and Round Island, eleven miles from the entrance. Pota- 
gannissing Bay, dotted with numerous small islands lying to the eastward, communi- 
cates with the north channel. Mud Lake, six miles farther on, is four miles in 
width. Sailor's Encampment Island is twenty miles from Lake Huron, and is a 
famous camping place. There is excellent fishing and shooting ; and supplies, small 
boats and small steam craft can be readily obtained. Here are found families, 
parties and fishing and shcoting clubs, who for a short period seek relief from the 
strain of business, social and domestic cares, and the stifling atmosphere of closely 
packed cities. With a simple outfit consisting of wall tent, rubber and woolen 
blankets, a few tin dishes, and a complement of cast-ofif clothing, they leave their 
homes, offices and school-rooms, and come out to this delightful region, assume the 
free habits of the natives, eat, sleep and are merry as seldom before, gain health and 
strength from the first breath of the pure, dry air of this wonderful Mackinac Region, 
and return to their various callings with renewed vigor and a new lease of life. Hay- 
fever sufferers, who are wise, come before the appearance of the annual attack, and

wholly escape the malady, while even the tardy ones find their sufferings at once 
mitigated. 

Continuing our course, the steamer seems to be heading straight for the shore, 
until a narrow outlet comes suddenly into view, and we enter the Nebish Rapids, 
passing between Sailor's Encampment and St. Joseph's Islands. From this on is to 
be seen the most varied and charming scenery. Indian villages, settlements and 
beautiful farms, serve to make a more interesting panorama. Lake George, six miles 
farther on, is an expansion of the river, nine miles long and four wide. It has 
thirteen feet of water over the shoals, and terminates at Church's Landing. Squirrel 
Island, Canada, lies opposite. Garden River Settlement, three miles distant, is an 
Indian town in Canada. Little Lake George comes next, then Point Aux Pines. 
Three miles farther, we pass around the head of Sugar Island, and eight miles 
beyond, reach Sault Ste. Marie, fifty-five miles from Lake Huron, at six o'clock in the 
evening, having supper on the steamer. Sault Ste. Marie is fifteen miles from Lake 
Superior, and there is much that is interesting about the odd old place. Here is 
situated the famous ship canal, built by the State of Michigan for the purpose of 
passing the rapids. The U. S. Government enlarged this canal, and constructed a 
new ship lock 615 feet long and 80 feet wide, having a lift of 18 feet. The scene 
witnessed on passing through the canal locks, is most interesting and exciting. The 
ship canal, river, island, and the two villages are in sight on either side of the stream. 
The Indians, in their birch canoes, are engaged in taking whitefish below the rapids. 

"And ne'er till lost in mem'ry's power, 
Shall we forget the thrilling hour 
Of our swift passage down the ' Soo ' 
In ' Indian John's' light birch canoe." 

Fort Brady, erected in 1824, is an old and important U. S. military post. Con- 
tiguous to this Indian village, it commands the St. Mary's River and the ship 
canal. 

In the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie are several streams where sportsmen go in 
search of speckled trout. The nearest points are the rapids on both sides of 
St. Mary's River, and the small streams between the islands on the Canadian side. 
There are also several places from one to five miles above and below the falls where 
anglers resort. Indians, or half-breeds, with canoes, have to be emploj'ed as guides. 
Our evening was fully occupied inspecting the government works, which well repay 
a visit. The immense and perfect structure of masonry, the water power made to 
run all the machinery necessary to operate the monster gates of the lock, and the 
dynamos which furnish the electric lighting, were perfect in all details, and quite in 
keeping with these was the neat, tidy appearance of all the surroundings. The 
ingenuity of man is conspicuous in the easy manner with which this ponderous affair 
is manipulated. As all the shipping from the lower lakes passes through this canal, 
tourists for Lake Superior have a choice of numerous steamers of either the American 
lines, via the south shore, or the Canadian lines, via the north shore route. We 
witnessed the locking of the most considerable amount of tonnage which had ever 
passed through the canal at one time. It consisted of two of the largest steam 
barges, with two immense consorts. The advantages of taking the Detroit and 
Cleveland Steam Navigation Company's route to the Soo are : it takes the west shore 
of Lake Huron, the passage of the rivers by mid-day, and includes the attractions of 
Petoskey and Mackinac Island at the least expenditure of time and money. Leaving

Cleveland Tuesday or Thursday 
evening, and rising at four, thefirst 
morning only, all the interesting 
features are seen by daylight. 

The City of Sault Ste. Marie is 
developing, by virtue of its geo- 
graphical location and exhaustless 
water power, into a very import- 
ant place. The population is now 
placed at 9,000. This is a terminus 
of the Duluth, South Shore and 
Atlantic Railroad, the Canadian 
Pacific Railway, and the Minn., 
St. Paul and S. S. Marie Railroad. 
It is a port of call for all Lake 
Superior through and local lines. 
The great ship canal is immediately opposite the 
city. The costly International Railway Bridge crosses the 
river at this point. 

Every tourist into the Mackinac Region should make this 
trip. It is not possible in the brief space allotted to the subject in these pages to 
do adequate justice to the charm of the voyage through this splendid marine high- 
way. To the artist it suggests innumerable charming outlooks ; to the student of 
history much food for reflection ; to the practical man a fine example in its great locks 
of the triumph of mind over matter, and to the light-hearted traveler in search of 
mere holiday pleasure a vast amount of general enjoyment. 

Even the most well-informed people of our more populous States have, until they 
see the " Soo " for themselves, a very inadequate idea of its attractions.
